  • tolerance of genetically characterized folsomia candida strains to phenmedipham exposure
    Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2007
    Co-Authors: Joao Barateiro Diogo, Tiago Nataldaluz, Christian Vogt, Jose Paulo Sousa, Carsten Nowak
    Abstract:

    Background, Aims, and Scope The springtail Folsomia candida is a commonly used model species in ecotoxicological Soil Testing. The species reproduces parthenogenetically and, thus, laboratories use different clonal lineages. In this study, we investigated if genetic divergence between F. candida strains impacts the reaction to chemical stress and may thus affect the outcome of toxicity tests.

  • In-Situ Soil Testing
    Cavity Expansion Methods in Geomechanics, 2000
    Co-Authors: Hai-sui Yu
    Abstract:

    In-situ Soil Testing is an essential part of geotechnical engineering. While many devices have been developed over the years for measuring Soil properties in-situ, the pressuremeter and the cone penetrometer (CPT) are arguably the two most widely used in-situ Soil Testing devices. Unlike many laboratory tests, pressuremeter and CPT tests are indirect tests in that the measured data needs to be interpreted to give fundamental Soil properties. Due to similar mechanical action generated by cavity expansion and cone penetration and pressuremeter expansion, cavity expansion theory has been used with considerable success in the interpretation of these two types of in-situ Soil tests (e.g. Wroth, 1984, Clarke, 1995, Yu and Mitchell, 1998; Lunne et al., 1997). The purpose of this chapter is to summarise some key applications of cavity expansion solutions to the interpretation of pressuremeter and CPT tests in both clay and sand.

  • Experiment of Formula Fertilization by Soil Testing in Watermelon
    Northern Horticulture, 2011
    Co-Authors: Zhang Gai-qiang
    Abstract:

    Regarded the new watermelon hybrid 'Kaixuan' as test material,effects of formula fertilization by Soil Testing on watermelon were studied.The results indicated that formula fertilization by Soil Testing could promote plant growth,raise photosynthetic rate and capacity,improve quality of watermelon,and increase yield by 20.55%,and that the Soil fertility was also increased after watermelon was harvested.
